US Youth Better Protected by Online Casino

March 23, 2009 | News Category: Online Casinos

0 Comments Since the implementation of the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) in 2006, many of the most credible and accountable online casinos withdrew from the United States. This left behind many online casinos that were less than reputable.

Although many of those online casinos who stayed behind are best kept away from, there are others who have proved again and again that they are trustworthy, reliable and take care of their players.

The UIGEA was introduced, in part, to protect underage players and those with gambling problems from gambling online. Over time, it has become obviously apparent that the UIGEA is doing neither of these things to any great degree.

Those who pushed through the UIGEA bill and supported it claimed that it would be the only reliable way that would keep children from gambling on the Internet, and that blocking banking transactions to online casinos was the best way to keep the temptation away from those with gambling addictions.

Surveys have recently shown that despite many Internet casinos rejecting US players, the number of US players gambling at online casinos has increased since the UIGEA was implemented.

One cannot help but speculate as to whether the supporters of the UIGEA had their own personal agendas in pushing the bill through.

Certain online casinos, such as Rushmore Casino seem to be doing a far better job of protecting the United States public. Rushmore Casino, powered by Realtime Gaming, remained in the US when many other online casinos jumped ship. They have always acted extremely responsibly when it comes to verifying the age of their players in order to protect children, while the UIGEA has failed to have much of an impact.

Rushmore Casino has always prided itself on being an online casino that runs its operation with integrity and transparency. They are one of the more reliable online casinos that will still accept United States players to play in their establishment.

Rushmore Casino offers resources to the parents of teenage children in order to help parents to prevent their children from participating in gambling online. Many parents will make use of NetNanny which keeps their children away from playing in online casinos, even if they, as adults, choose to play. They also offer resources to help treat problem gambling. Each of their promotions comes with contact information for parents of adolescents and for problem gamblers to contact when in need of assistance.

When choosing an online casino, it is worth choosing one that is reliable in every way that they can be!
